SAMMY WALKER

 Among those searching for a "new Dylan" (a phrase seemingly applied to every male singer/songwriter who has come 

along since Bob Dylan arrived in Greenwich Village in 1961), the adherents to the topical songwriting movement 

of the early '60s must be the most fervent. Dylan -- then thought of as a sort of "new Woody Guthrie" -- served 

their interests faithfully from about 1962, when he started writing songs in earnest, to about 1964, when he began 

to turn away from topical writing. Others in the same vein, such as Phil Ochs and Tom Paxton, 

never had quite the same impact. A decade later, Ochs, in association with Broadside, the topical folksong 

magazine run by Agnes "Sis" Cunningham and Gordon Friesen, "presents" 22-year-old Sammy Walker, 

who seems to have been fashioned, or to have fashioned himself, deliberately 

as the new Dylan the political folkies had been looking for.

 Starting with the album's title song, concerning Patty Hearst, he addresses political and social issues from a left-wing stance. 

When he turns personal, as on "My Old Yearbook," he sounds a bit more like John Prine than Dylan, but his humorous song 

"Funny Farm Blues" could be one of Dylan's talking blues songs. He evokes his primary inspiration on "Ragamuffin Minstrel Boy," 

but also harks back to Guthrie on "I Ain't Got No Home in This World Anymore" (on which Ochs and Cunningham sing along) 

and pays tribute to his sponsor on Ochs' "Bound for Glory" (which is, of course, 

Ochs' tribute to Guthrie, and on which he again sings harmony). 

Walker is thus steeped in a noble tradition, and he is nobly trying to extend it into the middle of the '70s...(All Music)
